Song of the Moment XXXIII: Travie McCoy’s “Billionaire” (featuring Bruno Mars)

It has been 12 days since my family and I returned from our trip to Tokyo, Japan. But until now, I still miss the place and everything about it. I just wish I had lots of money to go back there whenever and how long I want to.

And then Travie McCoy and Bruno Mars song popped into my head – an appropriate Song of the Moment.

I wanna be a billionaire so fucking bad

That is all.

10-Minute Warning CXXIV

Hello, Diary. I’m sorry for not updating here yesterday. The main reason for the lack of update is that my home’s Wi-Fi is down. Also, I was out walking and jogging last night and have reliable mobile data, but I don’t feel like blogging on mobile.

What happened today though? Other than working on proposals and watching a few Marvel Cinematic Universe films with my cousin Jake, nothing much.

See you tomorrow, Wednesday.

30-Minute Warning XXIX

How was my day yesterday? It was long but nice!

The day started with my cousin Risa graduating from college. We celebrated the occasion with a tasty Filipino lunch at Abé. She deserves her degree because I have seen her study for many hours over the past few years. Congratulations, my cousin!

After the celebratory lunch, I had another weekly affogato fix at my favorite spot Satchmi. I enjoyed my favorite coffee/ice cream combo at my favorite seat and then updated my journal. Now my week is complete.

After my journal writing, my other cousin Jake and I went to Greenbelt 3 in Makati to watch the main stage of Fête de la Musique Philippines. Fête PH is celebrating its 30th year, which is awesome! And the musical acts we saw: Jason Dhakal and Lustbass, Jose Miguel, Sinosikat?, Dwta, and Jewelmer Jazz Band. (I hope I typed their names right.) It has been a while since my last gig, and I spent my time listening and swaying more and taking fewer photos. That’s how I know I enjoyed the show that much.

My Younger Brother followed and watched Fête for a while, and then we looked for a ramen restaurant for dinner. We checked out Ramen Kuroda first, but they are about to close. We checked out Kenji Tei, but they were about to close also. And then we checked Ippudo, and they let us in. Yes! The third time’s the charm indeed.

And how was the dinner? After enjoying our mildly spicy ramen and Coke Zeros, our stomachs and hearts are full. We gained the energy to go back to Fête’s main stage and watch a few more acts: Morobeats (I hope I wrote that right) and Dilaw. In my opinion, the latter gave the best performance of the night. I should listen to their songs more.

After watching Dilaw, my Younger Brother and cousin Jake went home… but first, we had to stop by the nearest 7-Eleven and buy some Jack and Coke Zero and sweet corn chips. After coming home, I started writing this post and gulping the Jack and Coke Zero I just bought.

Happy weekend to all!
